Case # 4190587

This is Kenley's first case number with Rocky Mountain poison control (RMPC). I have been wanting to plant flowers around our house for weeks now and decided today was the day to finally get to it. While Matt ran the crossing (for YL) at our house tonight, Kenley and I planted flowers. Kenley really seemed to love it. She was very chatty and kept reaching out to touch the flowers when they were within reach...which actually turned out to be the reason for the call to poison control. At one point, Kenley pulled a leaf off of a petunia I was planting. I didn't think much of it until I realized the leaf was in her mouth. Trial by error...sorry Kenley, I'm learning all of this through you. Anyway, I googled "plants from Walmart" and of course got several hits regarding the dangers of pesticides on plants sold at Walmart, so to be on the safe side I went ahead and called up Doug at RMPC. Kenley is currently asleep and has been for about an hour and I'm sure tomorrow everything will be fine, but for now I will continue keeping an eye on my little leaf eater throughout the night just to be safe.
